9 Preface More than a century ago, when Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant made the first telephone connection, there was much debate and speculation about whether anyone would fmd a practical use for such a contraption. Who could have envisaged that Bell was laying the groundwork for something as dynamic and complex as the telecommunications infrastructure that exists today? Yet no matter how sophisticated our telecommunications system becomes, the greatest use is still the ordinary phone call. Telephony is the ultimate example of how successful technology adapts to the very human need to communicate; and, whether it is a call home while travelling on business or an interactive journey through the Internet, bringing people together remains the foundation of the global telecommunications industry. Telephony is a basic form oftelepresence - enabling human interaction at a distance, creating a sense of being present at a remote location. As we move from a physical to an information economy, demand will grow for services which transport bits not atoms and which support the output of the human mind. In the next millennium we are certain to be increasingly 'telepresent' both at work and at play, with an expanding market for telepresence services. Building on a strong base of established audiovisual conferencing and interactive multimedia services, BT Laboratories, together with its research partners, is leading the way in the multi-disciplinary exploration of the social opportunities and technical challenges of future telepresence services. The content of this book has been selected to provide a snapshot of these groundbreaking activities - conveying the complexity, uncertainty and enthusiasm involved in this challenging and exciting work. The opening chapter overviews the status and prospects for telepresence providing a context for the remainder of the book. Telepresence services will be built on a diversity of technologies, and a wide-ranging coverage is provided of the future of audio, data, video and virtual environments. These chapters highlight the remarkable functionality that will become available through continued advances in processing power and global network connectivity. We are ultimately concerned with telepresence as a service, not as isolated technologies. The starting point for all such communications services is a customer need, a particular desire for contact. The importance of the human experience in achieving that contact through telepresence, including issues of usability, quality of service and emotional interaction, should not be underestimated. We have therefore included a number of chapters that address the human factors of user experience and assessment of service quality.
10 x PREFACE In looking forward to prospective telepresence services we can anticipate a future of greatly increased diversity of media. There will be a much wider choice in matching an appropriate degree of presence with the initial desire for human contact. Making that match, with a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution, will be the key to commercial telepresence. With this in mind we have included not only some chapters which combine the various technologies to meet generic needs and also a few early examples of the application oftelepresence to specific markets, namely education, medicine and fmance. The telephone has set high standards for telepresence services that stress 'people as content'. The future promises a remarkable diversity of multimedia telepresence - we invite you to enjoy the various contributions presented here as pointers to just some of the exciting possibilities.
